Chapter 218: Growth Soul Ring
“Invincible Heart, Invincible Heart! Hmm… It seems like a knot that one can’t get around in a lifetime…”
Ling Mo’s emotions were somewhat low; he had never thought about this issue.
But… when it truly appeared, Ling Mo didn’t know how to face it.
“In the end, dust returns to dust, earth to earth! Past events are like clouds and smoke, let them dissipate.”
You still have a very long road ahead; even if you don’t understand now.
Once you grow up, you’ll figure it out…”
Suanni’s vicissitudinous voice came again, and Ling Mo fell silent.
“Alright, my mission is already complete! Now… it’s time to fulfill that promise from back then.”
“Promise?” Ling Mo was puzzled, not knowing what Suanni really wanted to say.
“That’s right! Before the Pioneer left, he entrusted me with a promise. To resurrect from the Darkness, besides awakening the dead knot in your heart.
You also need help to grow! To let you grow in the shortest time…”
Suanni continued, “I came here a million years ago and was imprisoned in the Underground Abyss!
This world’s Law couldn’t tolerate me, and my true body from resurrection in the Darkness had long decayed.
Therefore… to adapt to this world’s Law, I began to follow the Law and restart cultivation.
It was a long journey; over a million years, I was the only one in the entire Underground Abyss. Loneliness had become part of me.
In these million years, I not only cultivated the Nine Serenities Divine Thunder to the extreme but also forged an immortal body.
However… trapped by the Heaven and Earth Law, I still couldn’t break free.
Therefore… to escape the Darkness, my only way is to help you become a god, using my body to help you transcend.
Only then can I truly escape the Darkness!”
As soon as Suanni finished speaking, Ling Mo stood dumbfounded in place…
“What? You mean, to sacrifice yourself and become my Soul Ring?”
Ling Mo was completely stunned; this sounded utterly crazy.
“That’s right. This is the promise I made a million years ago, and it’s also my only way to break free from the Darkness…”
Suanni answered very firmly; it had long grown tired of the Darkness’s restraint and wished to escape as soon as possible.
“The Darkness you speak of, what exactly is it?”
Ling Mo still didn’t understand what the Darkness really was.
It seemed this word kept appearing, always accompanying him, but… he didn’t know its true meaning.
“Sorry, Dual Pupil User, I can’t answer you! Because… the Karma involved is too heavy; you can’t bear it yet…”
Suanni ultimately didn’t say it!
It didn’t say, and Ling Mo wouldn’t ask again; he never forced things.
“You say it’s a sacrifice, but… your Soul Ring has already reached a million years, while I’m merely a Soul Emperor.
How can I withstand the energy brought by your Million Year Soul Ring?”
Even though it was a sacrifice, this Soul Ring wasn’t something Ling Mo could bear. A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was already life-threatening, let alone this Million Year Soul Ring.
“You don’t need to worry about this; I have my ways…”
Suanni explained; it had long thoroughly researched this world’s Law, and no one knew it better.
Ling Mo didn’t speak but quietly waited for it to continue.
“Your first Martial Soul is very unique! Even I haven’t seen it before.
I discovered a characteristic in your first Martial Soul: it can bear Lightning Law, meaning your next Soul Ring can only absorb a Lightning attribute Soul Ring.
And this Lightning Law must be the ultimate Lightning Law, which I can just provide.
A Million Year Soul Ring is certainly powerful, but… I can use suppression to gradually suppress it to ten thousand years.
In other words, whatever the maximum years your current strength can accept for a Soul Ring, I can suppress it to that specific limit.
As your strength continuously improves, the Soul Ring’s grade will also rise.
For example, your current Soul Ring can maximally bear a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, with a black color.
When your strength improves again and can bear a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, it will become a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and so on.
So, you don’t need to worry about whether you can withstand the Impact from the Soul Ring; sacrifice and forced absorption are different…”
Suanni explained in great detail to Ling Mo, and it was the first time Ling Mo had heard of this sacrifice method.
If as Suanni said, then… this Soul Ring would be the best Growth Soul Ring.
It would rise with Ling Mo’s strength improvement, and the Amplification obtained would also gradually increase.
It had to be said that Suanni had thought very thoroughly; after all… Ling Mo was its only hope for liberation.
If Ling Mo died, it would also perish completely.
“Right! There’s one more thing I need to tell you: in my body, there’s a bone left by that Pioneer.
Before leaving, he said this bone has completely fused with you and belongs only to you—it’s returning things to their owner.
Since the cause arose from the bone, it will also conclude with the bone.
I hope this bone can help you…”
Suanni’s vicissitudinous voice came again; it was already very tired, and centuries of pain would end today.
“Bone? Soul Bone?”
Ling Mo was a bit confused; he couldn’t absorb Soul Bones, and he had always been doubtful about this.
But now, Suanni told him there was a bone in its body that belonged to Ling Mo!
“Too many things, I can’t say! As for what to think, you can only seek the answers yourself slowly…”
“Mm… I roughly understand. But I still have one doubt…”
Ling Mo nodded, but he had another doubt in his heart and asked again.
“Speak…”
Suanni was very direct; it didn’t have much time left.
“After the sacrifice, will you turn into a Soul Ring and reside in my body?”
Ling Mo raised the doubt; it didn’t understand this point…
“No! I originally don’t belong to this world, so… the so-called sacrifice is just handing over everything I’ve accumulated in this world to you.
However… I am still me, only… I will sleep for a time and re-cultivate my former methods.
After my sacrifice, I’ll turn into an egg. You just need to place that egg in the Bronze Coffin, and I will naturally leave…”
After Suanni finished speaking, Ling Mo was completely stunned.
“Bronze Coffin? You know the secret of the Bronze Coffin?”
Ling Mo had been searching for the Bronze Coffin, but he didn’t expect Suanni to also know its secret.
“The secret of the Three Lives Bronze Coffin, you can’t access yet! You just need to do as I say, and this Karma can be avoided.
Currently, the Bronze Coffin is under the Abyss behind me. After the sacrifice succeeds, put me into the Bronze Coffin, and don’t worry about the rest or ask…”
Suanni said seriously.
Ling Mo could tell that the secret of this Bronze Coffin was absolutely huge; otherwise, it wouldn’t have this expression.
Recalling all the past events, it seemed all the Karma was related to this Bronze Coffin.
There were currently two Bronze Coffins; Ling Mo had seen the other one in the Void earlier, but it had gone in a different direction from him.
And this one here had a close connection to him, often appearing in Ling Mo’s sight.
